The error most often occurs when Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) is not being used when importing a file using P6 Web Services. Both Import and Export services require MTOM. If not using MTOM the XML import file is not formatted correctly in the request message and Web Services cannot create the temporary import file on the server resulting in a java.io.FileNotFoundException exception. When exporting no error is thrown but no file is created.

The solution is to activate MTOM support either programatically or through the use of configuration.
